Biography
Iverson was born in the city of El Paso, Texas, to an English-American family. He moved out to Austin briefly in hopes of gaining money through gambling, but due to his many failures, he ended up becoming destitute and moved to Mexico in 1901. While there, he met revolutionaries such as Javier Escuela and Ignacio Sanchez, and helped them in their uprisings against the government. Iverson later returned home to Texas, but lived in Thieves' Landing, on the border, hoping to continue his gambling. He lost most of his money and died in poverty in 1928.
